Best game I’ve found
23/09/2018

I love hanjie puzzles, and was completely addicted to this game, and was a great time waster and toilet break game. Some puzzles would be super quick and some would take a bit of time and thinking. I had completed the worlds biggest puzzle and was in the process of completing the afterdark, summer and winter pack when I got a new phone. I redownloaded this game but my progress did not transfer to my new phone and I had to start again. Couldn’t be bothered and was feeling bitter so I uninstalled it. A few months later and I’m over it and have forgotten the trauma of this so am redownloading it so that I can become addicted to it. Also very happy to see other new packs that are currently locked! Can’t wait to unlock them It honestly is the best version of this game there is on the App Store, very easy controls and much more rewarding that any other game - being able to reveal the picture underneath Little tip for the people complaining about not getting enough tokens: replay a game that you’ve already won and you’ll get tokens, just find one with a large reward that you don’t mind doing about 20 times in a row - I found one which was symmetrical of a lion or something and it was a big reward if I did it but it was super easy to complete over and over, and just save up your tokens

My game keeps freezing every couple of seconds, to the point I’m finding it impossible to play and cannot access any contact details or help pages either. Could you advise please? Keeps me entertained for hours!! So simple to use and keeps my brain functioning too. I’m starting to find the ‘very hard’ puzzles slightly too easy though. When I first started, it could take me hours to complete a puzzle, and now they’re all completed within 5 mins max! Just moving onto the multi coloured ones though so hopefully they’ll be more challenging. Little tips: Keep connected to WiFi as you can often be offered to unlock a new puzzle by watching a video, or watch a video for an extra 10 tokens if you won some in the previous match. You can also replay previous puzzles to earn tokens too (3 for hard and extra hard, 2 for medium, 1 for easy and extra easy). Great way to keep playing without having to wait to build up 40+ tokens.

Interface isn’t great!

I think I may have reviewed this game before more favourably, but honestly my opinion has dropped because the interface is really clunky and off-putting. The game itself has plenty of puzzles, but having since played picross games on other apps I’ve realised how bad this interface is. It’s slow to respond and you have to tap a lot a lot of buttons, whereas with other apps you simply place your finger and drag, and the only tapping is switching between cross and colour. I also don’t like that you can’t change the colour, quite honestly I’m sick of looking at the brown!I’ve found that over time (I’ve been playing since Aug/Sep 2018) I’ve gotten so annoyed with the lack of tokens that I’ve ended up simply logging in once a day to collect them, and then only played occasionally when I fancy a change or run out of tokens on my other puzzle app. I therefore currently have 800 tokens, none of which I’ve paid for, so when I do fancy playing this one I never run out. I do find that I quickly become bored of the interface though, the continuous tapping to select the appropriate function, then the slow response from the puzzle, a lack of response near the edges of the screen and the inability to simply drag and fill. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll continue to play this one tbh, it’s not engaging me enough and I’m spending less and less time on it. But if they improved the interface and modernised the app a bit I’d definitely reconsider.

Frustrating lack of tokens
12/09/2017
GeordieKat
As a game itself it's not bad. I like this style of puzzle.The problem lies in the tokens. You need tokens to play each puzzle - the vast majority of puzzles need more than 10 tokens (the max amount you can regenerate) and at the moment it's almost impossible to get more. Occasionally after finishing a puzzle you'll get more coins which is great (unless your 10 coins haven't regenerated in which case you still won't have over 10). When you replay puzzles they're meant to give you more tokens but they aren't. 95% of the puzzles I've replayed have given me coins instead which are pretty useless unless you're stuck and need 1 line solved. That doesn't happen often for me so I have thousands of pointless coins sitting there while I'm unable to play.Other ways of getting coins are watching an advert (5 coins max a day) or from the daily login bonus. Even the top login bonus (5 days) doesn't give you many coins in reality when some puzzles need 50 coins to play (especially annoying if they're easy puzzles) which inevitably means you have to not play for several days in order to build up enough coins for 1 easy puzzle that'll take you 5 mins to do. So frustrating and means the game sits idle on my phone for days at a time.
